Our Favorite Books from 2025

I asked the staff to share the best book they read in 2025. The books did not need to be released in 2025. What was your favorite book you read this year?

Syrena

My Favorite book this year was Fahrenheit-182 by Mark Hoppus.

He is the reason I play the bass guitar. His story is so interesting and inspiring. I cried at the end which does not happen often. I will warn you he is a punk rock musician so there is quite a bit of language. I highly recommend listening to the audio book because he is the reader and it feels like you are sitting with him telling his stories.

The Prisoner in His Palace by B. Bardenwerper

Denise

For me, Battle Mountain by CJ Box. It’s a great series (Joe Picket ) and he tied up some loose ends from the last book that left us hanging.
